    They literally will not be happy until there’s rioting in the streets. And then they’ll be very happy because they’ll deploy the army against their own people.

    It’s fucking ridiculous.

      Genuinely I think that’s the endgame here. The lunatic fringe has the wheel. There is a group of people close to, or in, leadership now that is trying actively to bring about the collapse of society. Accelerationism has been a big buzzword in tech oligarch circles for a while now. It’s why Zuck built his compound in Hawaii.

    Do. It.

    No amount of suffering will be enough for me until this country collapses into a biblical depression and we can hunt MAGA for sport. I want these motherfuckers crawling on their knees saying, “I was wrong!”

    We voted for this. Bring. It.

    The cruelty is the point.
